Several of them were seen in front of the constituency office of Deputy Prime Minister Geneviève Guilbault, on Route Jean-Gauvin, in the Cap-Rouge sector.

Without strike funds, the approximately 66,500 teachers affiliated with the FAE have been on an indefinite general strike for more than three weeks, causing the closure of 40% of the province’s schools.
Contrary to the wish expressed by Prime Minister François Legault last Wednesday, they were not able to open their doors Monday morning.
